For Conall O'Sullivan, Ski Jumping was always the big passion. A sport not well known in the United States, ski jumping is very popular in Europe and enjoys large crowds who will stand around in the freezing cold for hours to see people throw themselves into the air for a ridiculous amount of time and length. It seems like an incredibly difficult and scary thing, but somehow it works. And it is even Olympic! Conall tried it out as a kid and loved it, eventually becoming part of the Irish National Team. He participated in some of the classic jumps, like the Four Hills Tournament, an annual event where four Hills are done in the course of about a week at the change of the year. He also tried his luck at Ski Flying, a similar sport that is done by the same people that just includes much larger hills and distances, some absolutely outrageous to think about. The football teams were never happy about this seemingly dangerous Dual Sport for Conall, since Ski Jumping does have accidents and injuries quite regularly but Conall makes sure this is always part of his contract and will continue to jump on his skis, as it is his passion.
